The Fullerton Bay Hotel
The Fullerton Bay Hotelswimming pool may not boast the vertiginous location of its Marina Bay neighbour, but it still wows with its views. Strategically placed in-pool loungers, private Jacuzzis and the über-cool poolside Lantern bar encourage seriously cool lounging with cocktail in hand.

Fullerton Hotel
As befitting its colonial heritage, the Fullerton Hotel’s infinity pool peers over the Singapore River to the surrounding neo-classical buildings of the Colonial District. The juxtaposition of the hotel’s Doric columns and the towering skyscrapers of the financial district provide a uniquely Singaporean backdrop.
